Recently, linux support multiqueue tap which could let userspace call TUNSETIFF
for a signle device many times to create multiple file descriptors as
independent queues. User could also enable/disabe a specific queue through
TUNSETQUEUE.
The patch adds the generic infrastructure to create multiqueue taps. To achieve
this a new parameter "queues" were introduced to specify how many queues were
expected to be created for tap by qemu itself. Alternatively, management could
also pass multiple pre-created tap file descriptors separated with ':' through a
new parameter fds like -netdev tap,id=hn0,fds="X:Y:..:Z". Multiple vhost file
descriptors could also be passed in this way.
Each TAPState were still associated to a tap fd, which mean multiple TAPStates
were created when user needs multiqueue taps. Since each TAPState contains one
NetClientState, with the multiqueue nic support, an N peers of NetClientState
were built up.
A new parameter, mq_required were introduce in tap_open() to create multiqueue
tap fds.

This patch introduce a new bit - enabled in TAPState which tracks whether a
specific queue/fd is enabled. The tap/fd is enabled during initialization and
could be enabled/disabled by tap_enalbe() and tap_disable() which calls platform
specific helpers to do the real work. Polling of a tap fd can only done when
the tap was enabled.

it makes sense as part of the upcoming directory reorganization,
where I want to have include/net/tap.h as the net<->hw interface
for tap. Then having both net/tap.h and include/net/tap.h does
not work. "Fixed" by moving all the init functions to a single

The patch also adopts a uniform style for including net/*.h files
from net/*.c, without the net/ path.

The net_client_init() prototype is kept intact.
Based on "is_netdev", the QemuOpts-rooted QemuOpt-list is parsed as a
Netdev or a NetLegacy. The original meat of net_client_init() is moved to
and simplified in net_client_init1():
Fields not common between -net and -netdev are clearly separated. Getting
the name for the init functions is cleaner: Netdev::id is mandatory, and
all init functions handle a NULL NetLegacy::name. NetLegacy::vlan
explicitly depends on -net (see below).
Verifying the "type=" option for -netdev can be turned into a switch.
Format validation with qemu_opts_validate() can be removed because the
visitor covers it. Relatedly, the "net_client_types" array is reduced to
an array of init functions that can be directly indexed by opts->kind.
(Help text is available in the schema JSON.)
The outermost negation in the condition around qemu_find_vlan() was
flattened, because it expresses the dependent code's requirements more
clearly.
VLAN lookup is avoided if there's no init function to pass the VLAN to.
Whenever the value of type=... is needed, we substitute
NetClientOptionsKind_lookup[kind].
The individual init functions are not converted yet, thus the original
QemuOpts instance is passed transparently.
v1->v2:
- NetLegacy::name is optional. Tracked it through all init functions: they
all handle a NULL name. Updated commit message accordingly.
v2->v3:
- NetLegacy::id is allowed and takes precedence over NetLegacy::name.

The most common use of -net tap is to connect a tap device to a bridge. This
requires the use of a script and running qemu as root in order to allocate a
tap device to pass to the script.
This model is great for portability and flexibility but it's incredibly
difficult to eliminate the need to run qemu as root. The only really viable
mechanism is to use tunctl to create a tap device, attach it to a bridge as
root, and then hand that tap device to qemu. The problem with this mechanism
is that it requires administrator intervention whenever a user wants to create
a guest.
By essentially writing a helper that implements the most common qemu-ifup
script that can be safely given cap_net_admin, we can dramatically simplify
things for non-privileged users. We still support existing -net tap options
as a mechanism for advanced users and backwards compatibility.
Currently, this is very Linux centric but there's really no reason why it
couldn't be extended for other Unixes.
A typical invocation would be similar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper",id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
The default bridge that we attach to is br0. The thinking is that a distro
could preconfigure such an interface to allow out-of-the-box bridged networking.
Alternatively, if a user wants to use a different bridge, a typical invocation
would be simliar to one of the following:
qemu linux.img -net bridge,br=qemubr0 -net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -net tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0"
-net nic,model=virtio
qemu linux.img -netdev bridge,br=qemubr0,id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1
qemu linux.img -netdev tap,helper="/usr/local/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper --br=qemubr0",id=hn0
-device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,id=nic1

This patch fixes a bug where child processes of launch_script() can
misbehave due to SIGCHLD being blocked. In the case of `sudo`, this
causes a permanent hang.
Previously a SIGCHLD handler was added to reap fork_exec()'d zombie
processes by calling waitpid(-1, ...). This required other
fork()/waitpid() callers to temporarilly block SIGCHILD to avoid
having the final wait status being intercepted by the SIGCHLD
handler:
7c3370d4fe
Since then, the qemu_add_child_watch() interface was added to allow
registration of such processes and reap only from that specific set
of PIDs:
4d54ec7898
As a result, we can now avoid blocking SIGCHLD in launch_script(), so
drop that behavior.

error_report() terminates the message with a newline. Strip it it
from its arguments.
This fixes a few error messages lacking a newline:

There's one place that passes arguments without newlines
intentionally: load_vmstate(). Fix it up.
net_check_clients() prints this when an VLAN has host devices, but no
guest devices. It uses VLANState members nb_guest_devs and

Okay, let's try re-enabling the drain-entire-queue behaviour, with a
difference - before each subsequent packet, use qemu_can_send_packet()
to check that we can send it. This is similar to how we check before
polling the tap fd and avoids having to drop a packet if the receiver
cannot handle it.
This patch should be a performance improvement since we no longer have
to go through the mainloop for each packet.

If qemu_send_packet_async() returns zero, it means the packet has been
queued and the sent callback will be invoked once it has been flushed.
This is only possible where the NIC's receive() handler returns zero
and promises to notify the networking core that room is available in its
queue again.
In the case where the receive handler does not have this capability
(and its queue fills up) it returns -1 and the networking core does not
queue up the packet. This condition is indicated by a -1 return from
qemu_send_packet_async().
Currently, tap handles this condition simply by dropping the packet. It
should do its best to avoid getting into this situation by checking such
NIC's have room for a packet before copying the packet from the tap
interface.
tap_send() used to achieve this by only reading a single packet before
returning to the mainloop. That way, tap_can_send() is called before
reading each packet.
tap_send() was changed to completely drain the tap interface queue
without taking into account the situation where the NIC returns an
error and the packet is not queued. Let's start fixing this by
reverting to the previous behaviour of reading one packet at a time.
